Les Pistolets Colt - 100 ans de
productionThis volume, published in 1998 is the second work relating to firearms written by
the Belgian author Gérard HENROTIN. As in his first title
issued in 1996 : "La Connaissance du Luger",
it includes a great variety of technical pictures, drawn from the infographic technology.
This ultra-modern process, used for the first time at this level in the firearms
literature, allows to reach one of the most difficult goal : the close understanding of
the firearms mechanical operation. All the illustrations of this site are stemming from
the same graphical craft present throughout the book. Our long chapter in this site,
relating to the Colt pistols will enlighten what kind of data you are supposed to find in
this beautifully illustrated book. Not only you will learn how these handguns function,
but you will get their complete historical background and various markings explanations. A
one of its kind book, that leaves the reader with a feeling of great satisfaction. In the
index below you will find some links to other pages with graphical illustrations.Book content and

La
Connaissance du LugerThis French book, published in 1996, is the first work of the Belgian author Gérard
HENROTIN relating to firearms. It is probably as well the first book using
at this level the infographical technologies in the firearms field. To fill that
challenge, many competences had to be gathered to offer a technically reliable content in
a modern and attractive form. These two objectives were reached to such an extend that the
volume became de facto the French reference on this famous German pistol.

This book was written to give a clear understanding of the pistol and its background, but
also to offer the demanding reader a true piece of art. You will find in our Luger
section, some illustrations drawn from the book, which includes some 600 color drawings
and 120 pictures. Book content and
